2009 World Soundtrack Awards Nominations

Well, it’s not even what would normally be considered “awards season,” but the World Soundtrack Academy has announced the nominees for their World Soundtrack Awards. And in an unsurprising echo of last year’s awards season, Slumdog Millionaire leads the pack with three nominations- Best Original Score and two noms for Best Original Song. (The WSA’s nominating year stretches from July 1, 2008 to June 30, 2009.)

While most of the awards are voted on by the composers who are academy members, the World Soundtrack Awards does have a Public Choice Award that can be voted on here.

The awards will be presented on October 17 at the Ghent International Film Festival in Belgium.
